Motion audio not starting at beginning

Question

I am using an mp3 file for my menu background audio, and have burned 3 DVDs with no problem. This morning I do the same project, except that it contained 5 m2vs instead of 3, so I made a DL disc. I always create a DVD floder, then preview it in VLC or other video players. The problem is that the timing starts at the 5 second mark. Tested it in 3 other programs, all the same. It shows the full length of the audio (38 sec) but only 33 sec play.
Any ideas what I should be looking for to correct this??
thanks,
Glenn

In response, how did I use it differently?? the size of the project should not make a difference should it??
From this part from your original post: "This morning I do the same project, except that it contained 5 m2vs instead of 3"
From that sentence, I gathered that you had three video clips in the same timeline, and then five (Encore timelines since version 2 can contain multiple video clips). But now it's clearer to me that you had three timelines, and then five timelines. That is correct, yes?
So the same timeline that worked with the mp3 file earlier does not work now...that is very strange. Nothing else changed in that timeline?
Note: I still recommend you don't use mp3 files in Encore, which has to decompress them to recompress for Dolby Digital. Not all mp3 encoders (or decoders) are created equal. Avoid them and give Encore what it wants to work with: uncompressed audio.
